Hi TinuAJ,

I don't think it's necessary to do a Masters in the US or UK before doing a PhD there. Hopefully someone on here will have advice for you.

Perhaps there is some useful information here?

Hi there,

If you have good grades already to an academic level of a BSc/BA you will not need the extra qualification. However you may find it an advantage to do an MSc/MA to increase your subject knowledge, this qualification would be good enough from an Indian University.

I know of at least one person with a BSc from an Asian country and who has got onto a PhD program. They appear to be managing very well.

Good luck in your applications.
